I am upgrading my sharpening system to CBN wheels. And thought it time for a new grinder. I got a Rikon 1hp, the larger one, but have yet to do anything with it at all.
Today I was offered a used old iron Baldor 8". It will be an almost identical price at about $250.
Having wanted a big old iron grinder for a long time I was immediately gleeful but then stopped and began to wonder which one would really be better for a sharpening only setup...
I have a wolverine to setup for it and intend to use it only for that purpose.
So I thought I would ask my fellow creekers... Which would you go with and why?
Thanks,
Joshua
